> Military grade scam

Seriously? 

The entire original debate about actual game content and the merits of it has now been abandoned, repeatedly, in favor of a discussion around how you were 'scammed' by a video game whose full version is available, for free, in your browser for you to play for as long as necessary to decide if you want to buy the offline version.

Did you not know that? You could have played the whole game online for a year before you bought it.

The game has content in it that you personally don't like, and that you personally don't think fits the definition of a genre term you yourself admit is part of a system of labeling that is not universally accepted, and because of this you are now 'scammed' and this situation is like Ponzi schemes, IT job/career issues and other injustices.

If a genuinely scam-esque thing happened on Discord? Again, I'm unable to speak on it because I wasn't there and don't know the people involved. 

Victim-blaming is a persistent, pervasive and tragic norm in societies around the world, surrounding any of a host of issues. 

Buying and then not liking a video game whose full-version demo can be played for free, after finding that its content doesn't fit your definitions of terms you yourself describe as under contention (not universally accepted), and then me coming along and saying 'Sorry. Play a different game then?' is not victim blaming. It is not even close to victim blaming. 

I'm going to level with you. Maybe some other stress that's going on in life is getting mixed into the topic of this discussion, and maybe that other stress actually fits the severity, tone and proclamations you're expressing here. If so, I'm sincerely sorry for whatever those things are. Because they do not fit this situation.

> But there's no deficit of most bewildering speculations and gaslighting attempts.

The internet has done this strange thing where it's caused people to throw around heavy, serious accusations like they're just casual words to say on a page. There was no gaslighting, there is no gaslighting and there will be no gaslighting. I don't gaslight people. I would recommend you redirect those accusations where ever they actually belong.

In the meantime I'm going to continue enjoying this military grade scam called Kinky Dungeon.
